1,4-Dichloro-2,3-bis­(chloro­meth­yl)butane

The title compound, C₆H₁₀Cl₄, adopts a geometric arrangement with two C—Cl bonds anti­periplanar to C—H bonds and the other two anti­periplanar to C—C bonds. While minimising steric replusion, this arrangement still gives rise to some intramolecular C—H...Cl contacts. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via further C—H...Cl contacts.
